Are you looking for a versatile, competitively priced venue in Thurrock for your forthcoming wedding, party, corporate event, Christening or wake?

Whether you are planning your once-in-a-lifetime wedding reception, a large family celebration or a corporate event such as a conference, presentation or team building day, the venue is going to be one of your main considerations.

There won't be many of us that wouldn't automatically opt for the luxury manor or hilltop castle but when it comes down to it, these supposed 'dream venues' have many drawbacks. Firstly (and perhaps most importantly) will be the huge price tag that comes with hiring such a venue. Secondly, you may end up feeling restricted by the venue's strict rules and regulations. Before you know it, your wedding, party or event will feel like it's no longer in your control.

So the next time you're looking for function rooms in Thurrock, whether it's for your wedding reception, anniversary party, Christening, wake or corporate event, we strongly recommend that you take a look at The Springhouse Sports Club & Function Suites in Corringham, Thurrock.

Formerly known as the Shell Club, Springhouse Sports Club & Function Suites has been a vital part of the local community for more than sixty years.

Formerly a social club for the Shell Haven Oil Refinery, The Springhouse has evolved over the years to become a private members club, with a wide range of sports facilities and social events, as well as two function rooms that are available to hire to members and non-members alike.

Conveniently located in Thurrock, The Springhouse Sports Club & Function Suites boasts two tastefully decorated rooms, the Springhouse Suite and Main Hall. The Main Hall is the larger room, which has a large stage area for entertainment. Alternatively, The Springhouse Suite is ideal for smaller, more intimate gatherings.

You can quite literally choose whatever you want (and your budget allows!) For example, there are five buffet options, as well as a Banqueting Menu, which includes delicious roasts, plenty of vegetarian options and a children's menu on request.

There are three bar choices available – an open bar in which an agreed payment will be required in advance, an open bar with a limit, after which your guests will pay for their own drinks, or a pay as you go bar, in which guests will buy their own beverages.

If you would like Springhouse Sports Club & Function Suites to provide decorations for your event, they are more than happy to supply balloons and top and cake tables. Alternatively, you are more than welcome to make arrangements to decorate your own function room. The only thing you need to remember is that only 'Blu Tac' can be used.

And perhaps best of all is the fact that The Springhouse is incredibly competitive, and if you are a member, you will enjoy discounted rates on all function hire!

Perfect for wedding receptions

The smaller Springhouse Suite caters for up to 45 guests with a sit-down Wedding Breakfast or 65 people with a buffet and disco.

The Main Hall can accommodate 150 people with a sit-down Wedding breakfast or 200 evening guests with disco.
